Men extract sand and gravel using Pokeland in the Jhelum River in Baramulla, Jammu and Kashmir, India, on February 1, 2025. Rivers are a key source of ecosystem services such as water, food, energy, and rocks. Within those ecosystem services, the extraction of riverbed material is a particularly important type of human activity in river ecosystems. Sand and gravel mining is a serious environmental problem around the globe in recent years. (Photo by Nasir Kachroo/NurPhoto)
